 Why it’s important
Over the past the Karen, one of the largest
ethnic minorities in Burma, have been
oppressed by the Burmese junta – murder,
rape and 3,200 villages destroyed in the last
decade. One in 5 Karen children die before
the age of five and one in 12 Karen mothers
dies as the result of childbirth.
Burma Humanitarian trains backpack medics
and outfits them with medicine. The medics
hike into eastern Burma providing trauma
care and community health services. Where
the medics go, deaths from dysentery and
malaria have dropped by 50%.
100% of individual donations buy medicine
or train medics. $5 saves a pregnant woman
from malaria.
